* powerpc: Remove assembly versions of strcpy, strcat, strlen and strcmpAnton Blanchard2016-06-141-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of our assembly implementations of string functions do not align their hot loops. I was going to align them manually, but I realised that they are are almost instruction for instruction identical to what gcc produces, with the advantage that gcc does align them. In light of that, let's just remove the assembly versions. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
* powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LEPhilippe Bergheaud2014-04-301-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian. This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores. Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops (which are already endian safe). The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is. Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for all other 64bit platforms.

* powerpc: Use generic memcpy code in little endianAnton Blanchard2013-10-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | We need to fix some endian issues in our memcpy code. For now just enable the generic memcpy routine for little endian builds. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell2008-08-041-0/+32
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
